Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Selhurst Park will turn into a battlefield for Crystal Palace FC and Cardiff City FC.
- 5' It looks surprising Crystal Palace FC does not make any changes. Junior Hoilett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Crystal Palace FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Crystal Palace FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Luka Milivojevic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Cardiff City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 31' Cardiff City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 31.
- 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for James Tomkins suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' Junior Hoilett is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 55' It’s high time Neil Warnock made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 63' Connor Wickham has so much to prove this time. He replaces Max Meyer on 63 minute.
- 68' Aron Einar Gunnarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 73' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Crystal Palace FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 77' Victor Camarasa is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cardiff City FC that had 363 games and scored 332 goals.
- 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Max Meyer made 307 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 90' Aron Einar Gunnarsson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Victor Camarasa on 90 minute.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
